From: Craig on
I am currently trying to get to grips with Access 2003, and i seem to have a
handle on some of the basics.

I have managed to write a couple of queries, which feed from the one before
ie a list of results is displayed, the user then clicks an entry, and this
then goes into a second query to populate a second list box.

The thing i am trying to do is now have a query on a second form [Form2]
reference a click from [Form1]

I thought the criteria would read as this

[Forms]![Form1]![List7] [List7] being the field on the first form, but
it does not seem to be the case.

Hopefully it is a naming convention i am failing to get correct
From: Jeff Boyce on
Craig

What is the content(s) of [List7]? Is that a listbox? If so, which item is
seleted (or can multiple items be selected)? When you pass the value of
that listbox (?) to your query, what does Access tell you?

Is the form in which this control exists actually open when you try to run
the query?

Please post the SQL statement of the query.

More info, please...

Post the SQL of both queries by open in design view, clicking on VIEW - SQL
View, highlight all, copy, and paste in a post.

As requested, here is the sql for the query that appears on Form1

SELECT LIVEDB_MBB010.PARTNO, LIVEDB_MBB010.DESCRIPTION2
FROM LIVEDB_MBB010
WHERE (((LIVEDB_MBB010.PARTNO) Like "FG*") AND

Not sure if it helps at all, but Form1 also has the following VBA to help
populate the list boxes

List7.value = Null
List7.Requery

For what it's worth, forms don't hold data in Access. That what tables do.
So your queries (SQL) really need to be against underlying tables, although
using a form for selection criteria is fine.

I couldn't help but notice that you have a lot of what appear to be tables
and fields with very similar names. This may be what is called "repeating
fields", a prime example of which would be fields named [January],
[February], [March], etc.

While this approach (essentially identical table structures for multiple
tables, all holding the same kind of information) is quite common ... in
spreadsheets ... it will put a serious crimp in your use of Access. Access
is optimized for well-normalized relational data, not 'sheet data.

If you'll post back a description of your underlying table structure, folks
here may be able to offer ideas on ways to get more out of Access ...

Good luck!
